The winner will be crowned tonight and will go on to represent the state in the Miss America competition held in September. The pageant, held at Samford University's Wright Center, starts at 7 p.m.

Walker is a UA junior and 2015 Oak Mountain High School graduate majoring in musical theater.

The pageant winner will receive a $10,000 scholarship.
